This is an excellent Japanese restaurant that tourist would not chance upon. The sashimi and the yellowtail tune cheek were fantastic. And washed down with cold dry sake

Best Japanese food I've tasted - absolutely delicious. Especially recommend the Teryaki Salmon, Gyozas & the Aubergine. Celebrating a 21st birthday & Sarah was amazing, recommending delicious dishes & surprising us with a birthday desert with fresh fruit. Lovely restaurant with authentic Japanese feel - will definitely be back.

It was ok. The sushi was not top tier. We had some octopus sashimi that was partially frozen still which was very disappointing. The wagyu did not live up to other wagyu I’ve had even to the slightest. The cocktails are amazing and the mochi was some of the best I’ve had though. Very nice ambiance. Would not come back for the food though.
